Another passenger charged with assault against a screener

I note that I haven't seen any TSA employees in uniform outside the airport in recent months. Used to see them on the light rail fairly regularly.

That's a good start, if they're either embarrassed to wear the uniform or simply afraid to wear it when they're not actually in the airport.

This is a great thing. shows (a) guilty conscience--they know the effect on the pax and their complicity, despite what their bosses tell them and what they tell themselves, (b) awareness that they are generally detested, as per the cultural jokes about them, and (c) they're aware of their exposure to retaliation. They find no pride no protection in that blue outfit.

This is not going to go away. The american public IS NEVER going to accept TSA's hands in their privates. And more and more travelers are getting this over time.

So would I. I think I'd vote to acquit any passenger for any assault against any TSA employee. At this point the goal has to be to cut TSA's legs out from under it, to rob it of all its power.

Smurf-clerks need to be scared. They need to be as lab mice subjected to one too many random electric shocks - mortally terrified of every passenger they screen to the point that they can't even finish a complete sentence without stuttering and their voices wavering in unbridled fear. If a passenger makes a sudden movement, every smurf-clerk at the checkpoint should duck and cower and cover their heads in fear; fear stemming from the (at that time) legal reality that a passenger could lazily flay them with a potato peeler and no jury in the world would ever convict the pax, but instead ask "What did you do to make that pax so angry they saw the need to flay you with a kitchen instrument? Be more careful next time." At the very least, they need to fear for their future employment.

This whole situation needs to be reversed and amplified. While pax currently treat TSCs with deference out of fear of missing flights or being arrested on unjust grounds, what needs to happen is that TSCs need to treat pax with the deference due kings in the olden days for fear that a single misstep, even one so slight they didn't realize they made it, will see them terminated and thrown out on the street from the only job they could ever work because "TSA" will be a black mark on their CVs for the rest of their days and nobody else will ever hire them even in the best economy.

LEE COUNTY, Fla. - It's a story that's grabbing national headlines; a Lee County woman arrested for apparently groping a TSA supervisor. But tonight, her attorney says those two women used to work together at TSA and the arrest had more to do with retaliation. Four in your Corner's Mike Mason is here to explain.
Carol Price says she grabbed the supervisor to make a point and she was really arrested because the supervisor never liked her.
John Mills: "They just did not get along when she worked there. It was very obvious to me it was retaliation."
Carol Price's attorney says a TSA supervisor targeted his client during a security screening at RSW. He says Price worked there for over 3 years as a TSA screener herself. But on April 20th, when she was a passenger on a United Airlines flight, Price says she groped a TSA supervisor to demonstrate what had just happened to her.

Oh, and then we have this:

Officials say Price set off an alarm while going through security which required a secondary screening. Video shows the agent touching price's inner thighs and brushing her hands along her breasts.

John Mills: "Her genitals were touched twice from the front and the back and you can see her breasts were touched numerous times with the front of the hands."

As a former TSA screener herself, Price claims agents are not supposed to touch a person's genitals or breasts with their open hands. We called a current TSA supervisor to find out.

Mike Mason: "So you are supposed to use the back of your hand."

The supervisor told me protocol states agents are supposed to use the backs of their hands to search sensitive areas unless there's a good reason to believe the passenger is hiding something.

This is the first time since Perv Pistole initiated the gropes that we've been told that the smurfs are supposed to use the backs of their hands. In fact, this is contrary to what the Gropenfuhrer and his minions have stated numerous times since November 1, 2010.

Well that supervisor just admitted the gropes are sexual assault. Doing ones job isnt a free pass to violate the law...get the nail gun out...its hammer time! Its amazing Pissys perverts gather there own rope and hang themselves with it.

How much you want to bet a spokehole does some major back peddling saying the supervisor is wrong or ill informed...so on and

You are so right. Stay tuned for major backpedaling. Where's our TSA spokesperson?

I have already explained that I do not comment on many things because of the SSI components, it makes it impossible for me to comment on many things, so rather than say something and not be able to give you facts on it, I stick to what I can comment on without those constraints.

So how do you explain the fact that a TSA spokesperson was quoted in that article supposedly revealing supposed "SSI components"?

A former TSA worker was a little upset about her pointless sexual assault in the name of security, went all grabbo on her old supervisor to demonstrate, and got herself arrested.

...

I'm just off deadline and will write about my own groping and mistreatment by TSA thugs in Albuquerque in the next few days.

Oh, and Ms. Price is despicable for herself having once earned living violating the rights and possibly the bodies of her fellow Americans.

Should you encounter her or any other TSA worker, be sure you tell them exactly how despicable they are. You can also print up my op-ed and leave it around the TSA checkpoint and the airport.

People in this country need to wake up to the constant erosion of our civil liberties, and if you don't have it in you to be civilly disobedient at the TSA checkpoint, at least do your best to act like an alarm clock for civil liberties.
